Something like: > > make installworld ROOT=/usr/test Yes, of course. In fact, that's what I customarily do. I don't call it /usr/test but I have some space under /tmp/test and usually do my installworlds like: # script /tmp/world.log # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make installworld DESTDIR=/tmp/test and if this does not fail somewhere, then I do the real installworld. -- Giorgos Keramidas < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > Find my public pgp key at: finger://keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
